Hi Dom,

Thanks for testing that! I hope Ed doesn't get mad that I've let out some of Pro
Deo's "Easter Eggs" as it were. It is not even Easter! And a pagan ritual too,
searching Easter eggs I believe. I'm not sure Ed would approve..



Have you used the 20 CSS test opening positions?

No, I didn't know of those Dom. Been hanging out on German CSS forum
http://www.f23.parsimony.net/forum50826/ trying some of Michael Gurevich
difficult testpositions there with Pro Deo Vulcan.

By the way, one of these positions I ran for over 32 hours and no crashes, so at
least we now know that there is no limit of 24 hours, as I suggested once
before. I though I should report!

At least no crashes with the personality I was testing.


P.S. My vote for the post of the week goes to Bruce Moreland:

I thought some of the programmers here might appreciate the binary humor:)
